 As you brush your shoes,  and stand before the mirror.
 And you comb your hair,  and grab your coat and hat.
 And you walk,  wet streets, tryin' to re-member.
 All the wild  night breezes in  your mem'ry, ever.
 And ev'ry-thing  looks so comp-lete,
 When you're walkin'  out on the street.
 And the wind  catches your feet;  and sends you flyin',  cryin'.
 Ooh..ooh...ooh-wee, the wild night  is calling.
 Ooh..ooh...ooh-wee, the wild night  is calling.
 And all the girls  walk by, dressed up for each other.
 And the boys  do the Boogie-Woogie, on the corner of the street.
 And the people  passin' by, just stare in wild wonder.
 And inside  the juke-box roars  out, just like thunder.
 And ev'ry-thing  looks so comp-lete,
 When you're walkin'  out on the street.
 And the wind  catches your feet;
 And sends you flyin',  cryin'.
 Ooh..ooh...ooh-wee, the wild night  is calling.
 Ooh..ooh...ooh-wee, the wild night  is calling.
 Come on out and dance,  come on out and make ro-mance.
 Come on out and dance,  come on out and make ro-mance.
 The wild...night  is calling,
 The wild...night  is calling.
 The wild...night  is calling,
 The wild...night  is calling.

 2...STRAIGHT TO YOUR HEART LIKE A CANNONBALL... by Van Morrison
-----------------------------------------------................
 (Original Key: )
 Well, you know,  some-times,  it gets so hard.
 And everything,  don't seem to rhyme.
 I take a walk  out in my backyard,  and go;
 Do do loo do do, do  do loo do do,
 Waiting for the sun  to shine.
 Well, you know,  some-times,  it gets so painful.
 Just like talking,  to your-self.
 When everything  don't seem to have,
 No rhyme  or reason, we all go;
 Do do loo do do, do  do loo do do,
 Waiting for the sun  to shine.
 We move a-long,  keep singing our song;
 Straight to your heart,  like a cannonball.
 La la ti da,  la la ti da,
 La la, la la la,  la ti da.
 Doo loo loo, loo loo loo loo, loo loo loo, loo.
 Doo loo loo, loo loo loo loo, loo loo loo, loo.
 Doo loo loo, loo loo loo loo, loo loo loo, loo.
 Do do loo do do, do  do loo do do,
 Waiting for the sun  to shine.
 Well, you know,  every-day,
 We hear it through the grapevine.
 That's why I'm so tired  of hearing it,
 Through the grapevine  any-more.
 Because you hear  it through the grapevine,
 It's just a dirty  rotten, waste of time,  we go;
 Do do loo do do, do  do loo do do,
 Waiting for the sun  to shine.
 We move a-long,  keep singing our song;
 Straight to your heart,  like a cannonball.
 La la ti da,  la la ti da,
 La la, la la la,  la ti da.
 We move a-long,  keep singing our song;
 Straight to your heart,  like a cannonball.
 We move a-long,  keep singing our song;
 Straight to your heart,  like a cannonball.
 We move a-long,  keep singing our song;
 Straight to your heart,  like a cannonball.
 We move a-long,  keep singing our song;
 Straight to your heart,  like a cannonball.
 Straight to your heart,  like a cannonball.
 Straight to your heart,  like a cannonball.
 Straight to your heart,  like a cannonball.
 Straight to your heart,  like a cannonball.

 3...OLD OLD WOODSTOCK... by Van Morrison
------------------------................
 (Original Key: )
 Oh, don't  it get you,  get you when  you're through?
 Feel the breezes blow-ing,  all around your coat.
 Oh, don't  it get you,  when you gotta roam?
 Hear the children sing-ing;  "daddy's coming home".
 Going down to old, old Wood-stock,
 Feel the cool  night breeze.
 Going down to old, old Wood-stock,
 Going down to give my baby a squeeze.
 Going down to old, old Wood-stock,
 Feel the cool  night breeze.
 Going down to old, old Wood-stock,
 Way behind the shady trees.
 Here I come  a swagger-ing,  way on over  the ridge.
 See the water flow-ing,  way beneath the bridge.
 And my woman's wait-ing,  by the kitchen door.
 I'm driving  a-long,  in my old beat up car.
 Going down to old, old Wood-stock,
 Feel the cool  night breeze.
 Going down to old, old Wood-stock,
 Going down to give my baby a squeeze.
 Going down to old, old Wood-stock,
 Feel the cool  night breeze.
 Going down to old, old Wood-stock,
 Way behind the shady trees.
 (x2)
 Oh, don't  it get you,  get you when  you're through?
 Feel the breezes blow-ing,  all around your coat.
 Oh, don't  it get you,  when you gotta roam?
 Hear the children sing-ing;  "daddy's coming home".
 Going down to old, old Wood-stock,
 Feel the cool  night breeze.
 Going down to old, old Wood-stock,
 Going down to give my baby a squeeze.
 Going down to old, old Wood-stock,
 Feel the cool  night breeze.
 Going down to old, old Wood-stock,
 Way behind the shady trees.

 4...STARTING A NEW LIFE... by Van Morrison
--------------------------................
 When I hear  that robin sing, well, I know  it's coming on spring;
 Ooh-wee,  and we're starting a new  life.
 I've been shovelling  the snow away,  working hard for my pay.
 All I gotta say;  is we're starting a new  life.
 We're gonna move,  way on down the line.
 Girl, we been standing  in one place  for too long a time.
 When I hear  that robin song, well, I know  it won't be long.
 Frank, I know we be-long,  and we're starting a new  life.
 We're gonna move,  way on down the line.

 Walked up and down now,
 Looked at the ground now.
 You went in labour,

 And all our friends came through.
 Baby, it's you;
 You are my sun-shine, I am  your guiding light.

 6...TUPELO HONEY... by Van Morrison
-------------------................
 (Original Key: )
 You can take  all the tea  in China,
 Put it in  a big brown bag  for me.
 Sail right round  all the seven oceans,
 Drop it straight  into the deep  blue sea.
 She's as sweet  as Tupelo honey,
 She's an angel  of the first  deg-ree.
 She's as sweet  as Tupelo honey,
 Just like honey  baby, from  the bee.
 You can't stop  us on the road  to freedom,
 You can't keep  us 'cos our eyes  can see.
 Men with insight, men  in granite,
 Knights in armor  bent on chival-ry.
 She's as sweet  as Tupelo honey,
 She's an angel  of the first  deg-ree.
 She's as sweet  as Tupelo honey,
 Just like honey  baby, from  the bee.
 You can't stop  us on the road  to freedom,

 Put it in  a big brown bag  for me.
 Sail it right  round the  seven oceans,
 Drop it smack  dab in the middle  of the deep blue sea.
 She's as sweet  as Tupelo honey,
 She's an angel  of the first  deg-ree.

----------------------................
 (Original Key: )
 Twenty-third  of De-cember, covered in snow,
 You in  the kit-chen,  with the lights way down low.

 Snow-storm's  on the way,  and we'll be stran-ded for  a week,
 Come o-ver  to the wind-ow;  look out-side, take a peek.
 I wanna roo you,  wanna get through  to you,
 I wanna roo you, woo you to-night.
 I wanna roo you,  wanna get through  to you,
 I wanna roo you, woo you to-night.
 You know I am lonely,  and in need of your company.
 Oh, let your love light shine  on; down  on me.
 And we  can just sit  here; look  at the fire,
 Watch the flames leap-ing, high-er and higher.
 Tea on the stove, food  in the pan,
 Ain't going no-where  and we don't have ma  -ny plans.
 I wanna roo you,  wanna get through  to you,
 I wanna roo you, woo you to-night.
 I wanna roo you,  wanna get through  to you,
 I wanna roo you, woo you to-night.
 You know I am lonely,  and in need of your company.
 Oh, let your love light shine  on; down  on me.

 Woo you to-night,  little darling.
 Woo you to-night,  alright,
 Woo you to-night.

------------------------................
 (Slow Tempo):
 (Faster Tempo):
 Oh, she give me moonshine  whiskey,  oh, she give me Southern  love.
 Deep in the heart  of Texas;  there beneath the stars  above.
 Oh, she give me Southern  comfort,  oh, she give me moonshine  love.
 Deep in the heart  of Texas;  there beneath the stars  above.
 Here I am  riding on a train,
 Just about thunderballs,  down the line.
 Just can't wait  any longer:
 See that little darling  of mine,
 See that little darling  of...
 (Slower Tempo):
 Mine.
 She's my Texas sweetheart, part  from Arkan-sas,
 Then we're dancing across  the floor.
 And a band was playing,  people were swayin' to and fro.
 Streamline prome-nade,  streamline prome-nade.
 And I said; "wait a minute, wait a minute,  wait a minute.
 I'm gonna take a plane,  come with me tonight".
 Gonna put on my hot  pants,
 And promenade down  Funky Broadway, 'till the cows come home.
 La la la da, la da da, la  la la da, la da da.
 Oh, streamline prome-nade,  promenade stream-line.
 Streamline prome-nade,  promenade stream-line.
 Think I'm gonna promenade all night.
 (Faster Tempo):
 Oh, she give me moonshine  whiskey,  oh, she give me Southern  love.
 Deep in the heart  of Texas;  there beneath the stars  above.
 Oh, she give me Southern  comfort,  oh, she give me moonshine  love.
 Deep in the heart  of Texas;  there beneath the stars  above.
 Listen, here we are,  thinking about time,
 When I re-sist,  here and now.
 And I  just want to lie my feet  on a river  bed in-stead,
 Can't wait any  longer for the sign,
 I want to get  down some solid...
 (Slower Tempo):
 Time in the water.
 Watch the fish,  in the water.
 Bubbles;  watch the bubbles come up in the water.
 Promenade stream-line,  in the water,
 Streamline prome-nade,  get funky.
 Promenade stream-line,  funky as you want to be.
 Streamline prome-nade,  well, I feel alright to-night.
 Streamline prome-nade.
 (Faster Tempo):
 Oh, she give me moonshine  whiskey,  oh, she give me Southern  love.
 Deep in the heart  of Texas;  there beneath the stars  above.
 She give me...  Southern love.
 Southern love,  Southern love.
 (Increase Tempo):
 Southern love,  Southern love.
 Southern love,  Southern love.
 Southern love,  Southern love.
 Southern love,  Southern love.
 Southern love,  Southern love.
 Southern love,  Southern love.
 Oh, she give me moonshine  whiskey.
